[Blogmeister’s Note: As much as we here at CommLawBlog enjoy keeping everybody up-to-date on doings at the FCC, there are limits. Since the FCC started implementing its white space database coordination process, we’ve reported on the appointments of nine -- and then a tenth -- database administrators, three test launches, two requests for public comment on test results, and two final approvals. This post marks the fourth test launch. They are all starting to look the same.

We’re happy to keep reporting as we have done but, frankly, the repetition gets a bit tedious. So we offer here an alternative approach: limericks!

Here are some examples. We encourage our readers to try their hand, too – submit them as comments. (Nothing X-rated, please.) We’ll post them without criticism. Honest.

Key Bridge Global Authorized to Test

Said the FCC Chief EngineerTo Key Bridge: "Do your test, do you hear?Just prove you comply --No, there’s no second try.Get it right, or you’re out on your rear."

Summary of the White Space Coordination Program To Date

The FCC said to the nation:We’ve settled on this delegation – Just ten firms – no more – That will take on the choreOf inputting white space co’rdination.

Spectrum Bridge, Inc. became number one.Telcordia’s next in the sun,And then Google was blessedWith permission to test . . .But the FCC still wasn’t done.

Next in line: Key Bridge LLC GlobalCoordinates fixed and, yes, mobileDevices that chooseJust what spectrum to useAnd with no interference – that’s no bull.

The Commission has clearly mandatedThat each of the firms designatedWill assure straightawayThat white spaces will stay Non-color co-ordinated.]
